Hey guys, I know I'm new but I'd like to start my first post by saying that I'm trying to put together this outfit quickly and affordably for the release of the game on the 13th. I'm eager to get it done as I'm an employee of Gamestop and I'd like to be ready for the event. I was hoping you guys might be able to share some knowledge as to what clothing, weapons, gear I need to make this an accurate reproduction.

I'll bet the shirt and maybe even the pants either are or based on tacticle shirt and pants. There are sites that sell surplus of that stuff like thesportsmansguide.com or if you can find a military clothes supplier I'd check there for those.
chances are you could get real life tacticle sweater and cargo pants and modify them or just use them as is.

I'll go ahead and check out the sites you mentioned for the clothing bits. What would you say about the shoes? Are they track shoes...I can't tell.

but that also shows I was slightly off on the URL, there's no "the" in it.

edit:
although now that I look at the last two pics you have in your second post, I don't know that you'll be able to find any shoes like those. It appears they don't have any laces, I can't tell how they close up so...I don't even really have a suggestion. Maybe the low hikers are still the style to search for something close?

I found close enough pants and shoes. I'll be making a cover for the shoes so they're more seamless and molding it and casting it in a flexible rubber.

I found a watch that's good enough for now, plus I own it, which makes it free. The sweater is a work in progress though.

I'm using a cheaper watch for now as I don't have the money to put towards the suunto.

The sweater seems to be the biggest hurdle on this costume, it seems it makes or breaks the look. I haven't been able to find any of the "right" sweaters with the 1/4 neck zip, the mesh in the right areas, and the charcoal grey color with vertical ribbing.

The backpack is a modified gearslinger. Similar to Maxpedition's....it is heavily modified however. I agree tht the Ubi one is abou as close as you'll get at short notice. It could easily be modified to be more authentic.
